How to add Customer Display System (CDS) App in Restaurant POS?

Modified on Mon, 30 Mar at 12:24 PM

A Customer Display System (CDS) App is a customer-facing application used to display information during a transaction.

The Home Screen (welcome screen) is the main screen of the CDS App. It shows a welcome message along with a slideshow of images when no order is open in the Restaurant  POS App.

When an order is opened in the Restaurant POS App, the CDS App displays the details of the current order along with promotional images, if configured.
Once the order is settled, a thank you message is displayed.


Steps on downloading the CDS application for windows and Android.

1. Login in the Restaurant POS and click on Download Apps.

2. Select the CDS for Windows and it will start downloading.

3. Once Downloaded open the application and it will display a “Welcome” Message.
